On the day of Liu Guanting's interview with Lost Valentine's Day, the interview team originally thought it would be the bus driver "Artest" in a shirt and tie released in September, or the toothy infatuation Taiwan Province "Zheng Huaming" in the classic role-playing drama "flower girl Becomes an Adult". However, if it is sunny, one look is enough to make the audience's back cold.
Liu Guanting, who won the Golden Bell Award and the Golden Horse Award, is very close to the people and dedicated in private. He not only arrived at the interview site 15 minutes in advance, but also reminded him that "I didn't ask this question, but I saw it last night and thought about it" when the reporter skipped the order of asking questions in the interview outline, but I didn't have a copy of the interview outline at hand and memorized it the day before.
In the fantasy romantic comedy "Lost Valentine's Day", Liu Guanting made his debut as the leading actor, playing Artest, a bus driver who is as crazy as Hua Ming, but everything was a few beats slower. Leading monkeys to provide
Affected by the epidemic, the film industry is depressed. However, from the beginning of this year to September, Liu Guanting participated in five China films. It also includes Sneezing, which was filmed six years ago, but only as a stand-in, and The Lost Lover, which was hand-picked by the famous director Chen Yuxun and played the leading role for the first time. These two films seem to have witnessed his career as an actor in the past six years.
Liu Guanting has always been very concerned about performance. In this year's film "Silence", he plays the teacher of Qicong School. Even if he is not the protagonist, he specializes in sign language, delves into the meaning of sign language, and even actively asks to change his sign language lines. Zhen-Nian Ko, the director of the film, once said at the premiere: "On the one hand, I want to say' it's over', on the other hand, I think he is really serious." . "Ya Ting" Jiang, who plays opposite Liu Guanting in "flower girl's rite of passage", also greatly appreciates his seriousness and thinks that his imagination and interpretation of the role are very rich.
Rogues, Taiwan Province people and people on the edge of society can all act vividly, but Liu Guanting has been a good student since he was a child. Not only did he not study hard, but he was also selected as a model student. He studied in the experimental class of the middle school affiliated to Kaohsiung Normal University in high school. But even with good grades, Liu Guanting, who often plays pranks in class, often pleads with primary school teachers to stop writing contact books for fear that "deeds" will be transmitted to his father. He revealed the news. Once, he was smart enough to post the inside page of the contact book written by his tutor in red on the next page, but he still caught the story. "Dad tore it in front of me, it's terrible to think of it. 」

Growing up, I did a lot of stupid things, but I still couldn't resist the desire to perform. Liu Guanting, who used to be a member of the lion dance troupe in primary school, usually likes to practice somersaults. When the players were not paying attention, he put up a railing to show off the "human carp flag" in the street, with his feet hanging in the air and a perfect smile on his face. Facing the camera and the crowd, he even sincerely advised him not to learn unless he practiced. An inexplicable street gymnastics performance, even the owner of the street lottery shop, the building guard, and even Aber, who is waiting for the bus, can't help but pay more attention.
Liu Guanting was born in Cailiao, Pingtung, the eldest son and grandson of the village head. He grew up with the attention and expectation of the whole village. He is full of acting spirit, imitating a scene found in Grandpa's Taiwanese Broadcasting: "The grandson of the village chief has nowhere to go, if he wants to look after the villagers (the grandson of the village chief is missing, if some villagers have seen him)" He became famous in the village before becoming an actor. "Everyone in the village knows me, so I don't have a good class or something, my home?
The high-pressure competitive environment has brought the opposite effect to Liu Guanting in the experimental classes of national high schools from rural areas to big cities. He once described his high school life in Facebook Post: "Reading self-help books will be exciting, but when you open the textbook, you will fall asleep; I can get up in the middle of the night to see Wang, but I don't want to spend more time preparing for the big exam. Liu Guanting became a catcher in the rye, questioning the mainstream value, tired of exams, reflecting on the past and just "getting a sense of accomplishment from his achievements", losing the reason for learning and simply banishing himself.
Liu Guanting rebelled at the crucial moment of choosing university volunteers. He recalled that at that time, he only applied for the "Drama Department of Taiwan Province University of Arts", not because he was enthusiastic about performance, but because he just chose "enough grades and didn't hate acting" in anger, thinking "If he didn't pass the exam, he would just retake the exam and re-select the department".
The day before he handed in the volunteer card, his father was busy with the soybean milk business, and he didn't say much. He just asked him, "Have you thought about it? Do you want to fill in anything else? " Liu Guanting shook his head quickly and replied briefly, "No." Dad's reaction surprised Liu Guanting: "Well, think about it." . Since then, he has subverted the harsh impression of his father.
Liu Guanting/Kloc-graduated from high school at the age of 0/8, and finally got rid of the pressure of further studies. He once rode around the island with two warm-blooded friends. Intercepted from Liu Guanting's personal Facebook.
Liu Guanting didn't get used to it at first, so he couldn't make friends, couldn't find a sense of belonging, and even had dinner with his high school classmates, not to mention calculus. He lived in chaos all day and almost got kicked out of 2 1. Liu Guanting called his father to talk about his plan to quit school. Unexpectedly, his father promised, "OK, I'll drive you home today." The strategy of taking a back seat scared Liu Guanting, and he proposed to think about it for another week.
"My father is fine. He seems to be adjusting the way he treats me," Liu Guanting said. When he was a child, his father was very demanding of him, and he was a "cannon" figure. However, when he was in high school, he thought he would be beaten. For example, he skipped school for two days in high school and voluntarily dropped out of school, but his father was unexpectedly calm, tolerant of his son's every move and decision, and let him stretch freely.
The drama department didn't bury Liu Guanting's acting talent. He recalled that the week after consulting with his father, he happened to meet the performance of the course in the department. At that time, he appeared in the drama directed by his sister, and his unexpected good performance won him the praise of teachers and students and changed him. "In that statement, I felt positive, as if I could do it and do it better than others, so I will continue to do it." Since then, Liu Guanting has persisted to this day.
Dressed in a straight suit, Liu Guanting stepped onto the stage in two steps and picked up the golden bell trophy shining in the spotlight. In a short speech of one and a half minutes, he said 17 times "thank you", especially cherishing the hard-won performance opportunity of planting theater. "Thank you for coming across flower girl Adult when I was very confused and at a low tide. In an interview, Liu Guanting admitted that planting a theater was the last stop he expected to devote himself to drama. " If I don't get the bus, I will walk home. 」
Liu Guanting and Lu Guangzhong play cousins in Adult flower girl. In the play, they were jealous of Yating. Outside the play, both of them won the Golden Bell Award for their performances. Intercepted from Liu Guanting Facebook
As a PE teacher, what I didn't mention in my speech was that Liu Guanting spent three years teaching PE in junior high school during the day and auditioning at night. "In retrospect, it's incredible. I don't know how I did it, "he said. At that time, I worked as a part-time teacher in Taozijiao Primary and Secondary School in New Taipei City. He got up at six in the morning, rode a motorcycle, and then changed to a passenger train. In order to make a living, he commutes for about an hour and a half every day. Outsiders seem to have a hard time, but Liu Guanting is resigned to savoring the fun of teaching life, even if it's just invigilation.
This fork in the road between teachers gives Liu Guanting a chance to see all kinds of families. He was deeply impressed. One of his students was similar to "Caitou" and once lived in a juvenile rehabilitation center. "At first, maybe because I was a young teacher, he had a good relationship with me, but in the ninth grade, he suddenly changed, dyed blond hair, skipped classes, and once had a conflict with me in class. Later, with the help of the head teacher, Liu Guanting came into contact with the students, and learned that he was exposed to drama courses in Shaofu Hospital. He was very moved and more motivated to rethink his life.
Liu Guanting ridiculed himself as "the meat foot in agriculture". Whenever there is a gap in his work, he will take time to get along with his family, and also help his grandmother who lives in Pingtung "save a worker's money" and help with farming. Intercepted from Liu Guanting Facebook
"When I grew up, I found that I was lucky and happy to grow up in such a family." Liu Guanting used to be a teacher and also performed for marginalized people. He cherished his family. He even gave himself a brand-new challenge, creating an environment in which family members "say love" to each other in the traditional family culture. For example, he offered to have a family dinner together or chat with his father on the other end of the phone, which he didn't dare to do before. And this is also the warmest reward for his family who has been silently supporting him.
